Originally signed by the Twins in Feb, 2009, Candido Pimentel is in Elizabethton for the rookie season.
Listed at 5'11"/160, the switch-hitting Pimentel is at .357 after the first series of the season.
Pimentel played for the DSL Twins in 2009, hitting .293. Last 2 years,have had him in the GCL ,with a .265 avg in 2010(46 games) and in 2011, a .250 average in 45 GCL games.
3 rbi's already this season, half of 2011 total, with a triple among his first 5 hits.
Candido will turn 22 July 19, so this is a pretty big year for him. I wish him the best. Besides,how cool of a name is Candido?
